California Lasers is not your average waterjet cutting vendor. We pride ourselves in doing the difficult. We offer our customers extremely high tolerances and zero taper cutting. And by utilizing our sophisticated nesting software your material will yield the maximum part count out of each sheet of material.

The waterjet utilizes ultrahigh-pressure water, typically 60kpsi, forced through a tiny orifice. This high-pressure focused beam of water is combined with an abrasive material, usually garnet, to create a highly effective cutting tool. The waterjet is fitted with a computer controlled motion system to create 2D shapes from CAD software.

Advantages of Waterjet cutting:

No physical contact Thickest of material

No heat input Lamination stacks

High tolerance capabilities Virtually no burr

No cutting force Oxygen free cut edges

Ability to cut thicker materials than laser Low or No distortion in parts
